April 5, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. ET: Administrative Law’s Racial Blind Spot

Daniel E. Ho, William Benjamin Scott and Luna M. Scott Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science, Stanford Law School

Professor Ho‘s scholarship centers on quantitative empirical legal studies, with a substantive focus on administrative law and regulatory policy, antidiscrimination law, and courts. As director of the Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab, his work has developed high-demonstration projects of data science in public policy, through partnerships with a range of government agencies. This lecture will draw from a recent article, “Disparate Limbo: How Administrative Law Erased Antidiscrimination,” published in the Yale Law Journal.
